My sister has been married for almost a decade, and her husband has a drinking problem and often becomes violent. They don’t have any children. If she wants to get a divorce, what are her rights? Could she claim half of her husband’s assets?

In India, your sister can file for divorce based on cruelty and her husband’s addiction. She can claim a share of the marital assets acquired during the marriage, but the exact proportion depends on factors like the length of the marriage, contribution of each spouse, and the nature of the assets.
